An overtouted snowstorm will drop a little bit of snow over the northern and central mountains to start the week. Maybe a couple flurries across the NW San Juan Mountains.
After it passes, the ridge cranks up and does its thing, bringing dry conditions and milder temperatures, for a long, long time.
How long? Everyday the models extend it. Currently lasts through November 10th. Dry likes to stay dry, and the models know that.
HOWEVER…The GFS model ends the dry period with a major pattern change to full on winter, around the November 8th.
That would not surprise me at all. Is it too soon to count on? Absolutely. Do I care? No, at least it will be something to track.
